So much of spiritual development lies in personal development, in the sense that we need to understand ourselves – to know ourselves – before we can really grow and progress. These two dreams illustrate that process by, at first, showing an upbeat image of riding in a convertible and playing with energy. But to get to that “place” in oneself, certain things have to be faced and, in this instance, involve going into the dark depths and working something out. And the darkness encountered is really just a measure of how intimidated the dreamer is to make this bit of progress. Thus, the fundamental struggle of a development journey.

Jeane:My first dream, all I remember about it is kind of driving down a road with somebody else in a convertible. And what I seem to be doing, when I’m in that convertible, is I’m kind of feeling what certain energy lines look like, but those lines seem to run up my arms, and just across the neck, and then down the other arm. They don’t go all the way up. That’s all I remember about that dream.

John: It’s an image in which what’s open to the sky was not important. What was important was a connection of a type of receptivity that took in a wholeness of kind of the placement of yourself, in other words, where you’re sitting holding a connection.

And so the question is, what’s the connection you’re holding? The connection you’re holding is a connection to the receptivity to manifestation, to the physical.

And what does the convertible represent? The convertible represents the openness that exists to that which is the life force that comes down. And when you have a convertible you’re opening yourself up to the light of things. When you don’t have a convertible you’re shielding off a little of the light, and you’re holding your focus primarily upon, and you’re feeling the energy of, things in a rooted way of the physical.

And why is that? The reason is because the feminine nature holds the linkage to that which is in the plane of manifestation as sound, and the masculine nature holds the linkage to that which is light, which is more of a speeded-up nature. And yet you could say that in a fullness of completion they come together. But they will appear, by their very nature, to be on two different planes of beingness.

So the question that comes up is: are they to come together? Well, if they are to come together where there is light, can you have the other? And the key is you have to have both. You need to have both planes always there, that the big mistake in terms of trying to intertwine something is the intertwining by the very term of the word indicates that something merges, that the physical merges with world soul, or the whole of things, in which case then you would have a transitioning. You would have one thing going into the other and, therefore, it would become that. And you would be intertwined, but, yeah, there may be planes in which the whole energetic light of things is accentuated, but in this plane you need to find all that there is in these other planes and, at the same time, yield, and adhere to, and support, and maintain and not shut anything off in terms of the planes of manifestation.

And then what your dream is doing is, your dream is showing you that the key to you being able to feel the energy pulsing through you, through your arms, through your nature of things, is your way of being able to hold the quality of that which is in life. It’s real, real hard for the masculine to perhaps judge that, because of the sense of something more.

Jeane: So, in the next dream, I know there’s some parts of it I lost, but initially I’m with a group of people. We all seem to live in this apartment complex. We’re up on one floor of it, but you can kind of look from one person’s apartment across to another’s, or even go there on balconies and things.

And it feels like we’ve traveled somewhere, together as a group, maybe in the building, and it’s time to go back. But one of the group has told me that I need to get more exercise, so I’ve split off a bit and left the building and gone up around the block, and gone further afield. And in the process of doing that, I find myself in a rather strange building, and there’s something that I need and it’s like I open up a door that maybe people don’t know about, and it almost has a slide that goes down to another level, and in that level on the outer part it’s almost like there’s counters, and women, and everything is warm and friendly – but I know that what I need is… you know, what I express maybe some need that I’m directed elsewhere.

And I open up a door and it’s to this kind of dungy, scary almost room that’s narrow, and darker, and there’s a man in there that’s kind of wearing a long coat and looks kind of spooky. But that seems to be the room I have to go into to get whatever it is that I was needing. And when I go in that room, I just know the room seems to kind of narrow, and next thing I know I find myself back up near the roof where I had been before, on another level.

And I start walking trying to get back towards where home would be. And then you’re there with some other people, except you’re blindfolded, and you’re kind of bent over backwards and wearing a strange outfit, and there’s some strange appendages some places on your body, too.

Then I feel like if I make love with you, even though it’s kind of out there in the open and everything, and you’re blindfolded and don’t know it’s me necessarily, that this will heal something that’s going on – but I have to kind of calm the situation down to do that. And that all feels like tied up with what happened in the room down below before, and so it feels like I approach to do that, and that’s kind of where I forget where the dream goes next.

John: It’s a dream that I could’ve predicted from what you told first. I was wondering if you would go through it and have a dream like that, because the first dream just set the very general scenario of things in a very, very general way. It was almost like a meditation-type dream, in which you would have to understand the symbolism between the open top convertible and what that was, in other words, the sky in relationship to the grounding.

And, in the second dream, you’re pointing out that you need to catch up with that quality, and it’s a masculine quality, that is blinded, that doesn’t even know the degree to which it is connected to something. And that’s the greater soul or whatever, the clarity of something in terms of a bigger picture, it brings in the information of that, and that can’t quite be reached without a certain access, a certain going into the depths of something, or basically the holding of something, the maintaining of the two places, a beingness within the two places.

Okay, in this dream we have a drunken ex-boyfriend, and his wary new girlfriend, and then the ex-boyfriend dies and comes back to life – and that’s not the most interesting part of the dream! What’s really interesting is how the dreamer is handling the relationship between the masculine and the feminine dynamics in the dream – because if someone dies in a dream, the dreamer did it. So what is being erased or annihilated? And, in this case, the death is too severe a reaction, so the masculine aspect has to be brought back into life.

Jeane: I only remember one dream. In this dream I’ve gone with some others to a meeting where Ellen’s talking, and it’s a rustic kind of log cabin-type setting. And I go in, and there are a group of us, and some of us even like kind of kneel down on the floor, or bow down at times, and the room gets rather crowded.

And my ex comes in, and he’s with the woman that he’s with, but he’s been drinking so he’s drunk. It’s like I just want to kind of not have anything at all to do with him. You know, I’m kind of staying in the back out of sight, because he came to the whole meeting drunk. Plus, I feel like the lady he’s with doesn’t like me, anyway.

But then he ups and dies, in the middle of whatever we’re doing, and gets carried out. Well, then I feel in a way like I’ve done something wrong, so I feel like I have to leave and go to the little kind of ranch-like place where he and his girlfriend live or woman live. And I go down there, and I observe it first. It’s like I feel like maybe I could’ve done something, and I know she probably doesn’t want me around, but I’m there.

And one of the odd things I notice is that I’m standing near this hose. It’s half white and half turquoise, and as I’m standing there it feels like it turns all to a deep kind of blue turquoise color. And then when I go in the cabin where he and his lady are, she’s still kind of glaring at me, he’s not dead – he actually comes back to life.

But she leaves, so now I feel like I have some responsibility, and it’s a responsibility in a way I don’t really want, but I feel like it’s something Ellen expects of me, and now he is alive, he’s not dead, and I feel like I need to do something to either look after this place a little, or get him back to the meeting.

It’s not like I’m happy about the whole thing at all, but it’s just there’s no one else there to do it anymore, except me, or he’ll have to do it on his own. It’s like I feel like I have to get back to the cabin with Ellen, too.

John: This is a different way for you to dream. Even though you didn’t have any dreams, per se, that showed that you were shifting to a new level, this dream has all the earmarks of a new way, or level, of dreaming.

And, in the past, you dealt with the energy from the standpoint of it having peculiarities, in a masculine-oriented way, in which there was the attraction, or kind of like that whole thing of trying to draw yourself near, or be part of, or it to come to you, or it chasing you, or however it was that was the way this variable inside yourself played itself out.

But you’re not doing that in this dream. And there aren’t any remnants of that in this dream. It’s like you’re now having to contend with it in an interesting different kind of angle way of looking at what is a subtler level of separation.

In other words, the theme of the dreaming is to get to a point where one accepts and intertwines with everything that there is. In other words, you don’t push anything off to one side, you don’t eliminate anything, you don’t kill anything, you don’t try to annihilate what you don’t know how to annihilate.

In other words, the picking up of the octave of that sort of thing, in this dream, has you to begin with having gotten to a point where there is the estrangement from a part of yourself, as you call it the ex-boyfriend or something, and that estrangement has something to do with an aspect of feminine nature energy. And this aspect of feminine nature energy is kind of impacting the quality of the masculine, perhaps even killing it a little bit.

And you don’t mean to do that. Your intent, instead of that being of a magnetic nature like it had been in the past in which you were veiled by the magnetic aspects of things, your nature now is more in terms of trying to heal, or to… Well, I guess heal is the right word. And to be able to do that has something to do with an estrangement that has occurred with regard to an aspect of feminine energy.

And so you find, because you had stepped aside, and allowed something to be shut off a little bit, and thus then there became the peculiarity with this aspect of an additional shadow side. It’s like an additional shadow side. It’s like the masculine is shadow one, and shadow two is like the feminine variable. And so on one hand where you might have had shadow one, the masculine, chasing you, or you were attracted to it or this, that, or the other, now you’re at a point where you have been able to kind of let shadow one, that masculine, go, and yet you still have a responsibility towards that, and a connection to that, that it isn’t just that simple because that is a type of annihilation, or estrangement of yourself, yet in a subtler way or something.

And so, because it’s intertwined, when you have let go of the way in which this part affects you, in terms of magnetic intensities and the variations and variables of that, to where you have been able to become more at ease, because you’re not thrown around by processes of thinking that are totally indulgent in that way. You’ve shifted beyond that kind of indulgence loudness. You’re now looking at the masculine in a quieter mode, and you’re kind of accepting that something looks like it may have been able to move on as a result of another kind of feminine quality orientation.

But what you’re finding is that you can’t take and throw that away from yourself completely because it is part of yourself yet, and that the way that you were inclined to do that had to do with shadow number two, of an aspect of feminine energy, that when there is the separation of the core part of yourself from this subtler, subtler aspect, the masculine that you would like to think has moved on, or believe has moved on or something, and the effect of the inner shadow, or basically shadow number two aspect of feminine, that what you’re really doing is you are killing a part of yourself inadvertently. And you’re doing this with a feminine effect.

And so, in the dream, you are bringing healing energy back into the equation. In other words, healing energy is like taking magnetic energy and putting it into a way so that it doesn’t have the blur, and the density, and the contractive nature, quite as much contractive nature, as the magnetic that you go through, and went through, and dealt with that is more like on a prostitute energy magnetism, like that that leads to a lot of prostitute energy flickerings. This leads to a shutting down, a type of shutting down.

And so where you’re at with it is you’re coming to realize what is important in terms of holding on and maintaining an aspect of this masculine energy that has to be reawakened and kept alive, but then shadow number two seems to be leaving the equation now, so this is even subtler, right? Because it’s shadow number two, and that part has to be taken in, and intertwined, and reached inside of yourself now.

So what’s happened is, even though you didn’t have a dream per se of shifting to a whole new way of having to contend with things, your dream indicates a shift, and I am able to identify that shift because I’ve been provided with dreams inside that show that something has shifted to another way of having to contend with things, a whole new versionality of something, that before couldn’t be dealt with because the grosser and denser aspects had to be sorted out and assimilated first.

Living in the moment or going with the flow are popular ideas, but why are they important? Well, when we personalize life to be about us and our small world of friends, family, and career, we leave no room in ourselves for the unfolding of universal things. When we react to timings that don’t suit our world view, we are rejecting the greater processes at play. And we will never be able to control the world around us (the personal), but we can align ourselves to what the universe is doing energetically – and there is freedom in that, as well as the safety of things unfolding as they should.

John:So, in the next dream, instead of having to sort this out as a kind of masculine bondage, I had to sort it out as a feminine bondage. So in this dream I’m a woman, and so I am used to feeling myself in a particular way, in other words, in how I relate to my overall environment.

And another woman takes advantage of that and bumps me inappropriately. My sensitivities react, and this keeps me from responding indifferently. In other words, the feminine always feels the aches and pains of things, the moods, and everything. I cannot respond indifferently because I am indulgent in experiencing myself and life around me in a predictable way.

Well, the significance of this dream is that this is another aspect of an indulgence, but in an opposite way instead of with particularities. In other words, it’s a misholding of the overallness in the outer that keeps you from letting go. And the way I’m holding the overallness, which I think is okay, I come to know as not okay if I’m violated in that way, in terms of how I’m holding it, which means that the overallness is bigger than that if I’m subject to being able to be affected or reactive.

So my way of feeling myself and the world around me gets compromised when I am off to some degree and, consequently, then I’m not able to hear and see life from within. The reason being a reactive indulgence is in the way.

And this time it’s in the way because of the way one feels one’s self. In other words, you can be off in terms of how you see yourself in manifestation, just like you can be off by the way that you’re unable to sort through what is in front of you to know that that’s limited and more. In other words, you’re letting certain things vie for the heart, and then you get to the point where you can’t let that vie for the heart anymore, and then you break free and there’s a certain danger then.

That’s the masculine sense of danger, and in that there’s a battle, and in the feminine sense there’s the degree to which she’s always trying to hold onto things being such and so. That’s the limitation of the feminine, always trying to hold onto wanting something to be familiarly oriented.

And so in terms of kind of going back and forth and back and forth, and then also pulling things together, with each dream, with each aspect taking a step, in this dream I am now the patriarch of an extended family.

In order for my grown-up sons and daughters to comfortably visit, I must accommodate them in terms of who and how they are, not who and how I am, but who and how they are. If I don’t, damage is done to the overall, and then a natural intertwining suffers.

If there is an imbalance with my brothers and sisters, and sons and daughters, there will be a problem in the future with intertwining, that being as aspects of myself, to the grandkids. In other words, it keeps going. It’s meant to keep expanding.

So, the reason for the dream is, after seeing the polarities, which interfere with the acceptance needed for life to unfold, I am then shown where this is meant to go in the above dream. See how that expanded, added more?

And in the final dream, I am shown the importance of being able to accept everything that occurs in the environment I live in. When I am unable to do this, there is no inner into outer unfoldment. Well, none that I’m aware of, and participating in that is, and consciously.

So my wholeness in life is repressed when I am unable to accommodate and intertwine. Until I learn the importance of naturally bonding all aspects of myself, I will suffer and be postponing my awakening.

See, what this dream is doing is it is showing why and how it is that you stay in an amnesia for what could be long, long, long periods of time, maybe even lifetimes, because something doesn’t open up. And it doesn’t open up because you hold onto a conditionality of how you perceive or see yourself.

It takes a long, long time for certain things to shift, and change, or to emerge. Such a postponing affects the generations of myself on a subtle inner unfoldment level, which is the flip back of the sons and daughters and grandkids and all of that, brothers and sisters. And it’s like it says, you know, there’s the saying that as you become more conscious you affect generations going backwards and generations going forward.
